right now it's looking like way closer to a drawn out months and months of attrition war than the blitzkrieg

What counted as right

Status
resolved
Settled on
2022-09-25

The Russia-Ukraine war remains an active, unresolved conflict beyond ~6 months (still ongoing past 2022-09), rather than ending in a rapid Russian conquest.

Criterion (still ongoing past ~2022-09, not a rapid Russian conquest) is satisfied: the conflict was demonstrably active and escalating around the deadline. Uncontroversial, well-documented outcome; no outcome value assigned here.

Evidence of what happened

  • The Russia-Ukraine war remained an active, unresolved conflict well beyond ~6 months. On 2022-09-06 Ukraine launched a major Kharkiv counteroffensive (reclaiming ~3,000 sq km by 2022-09-10, retaking Izium, Kupiansk, Lyman), demonstrating an ongoing attritional war rather than a rapid Russian conquest. The war was still active at and past the 2022-09-25 deadline.
